Abstract: All Thai students are required to study English grammar and lexis from grade one to undergraduate level or above, that is, approximately 16 years. However, their English skills are still poor. According to Bunyamanee (2017), “In the latest English Proficiency Index conducted by Education First, a global language school opearator, Thailand is ranked 53rd among 80 non-native English speaking countries and territories”. He explained that foreign teachers admitted that their students’ lack of proficiency in speaking and listening. Most students are shy and try not to speak in English because they are afraid to make mistakes (Bunyamanee, 2017). It is highly possible that Thai students are not competent listeners and speakers because they have few opportunities to practice these two skills in either the classroom or their indigenous community. Walsh and Li (2013) said that teaching and learning a language can accomplish through interaction. They also explained that learning opportunities and learners’ involvement can be constructed or obstructed by teachers’ use of language. Therefore, this paper sheds light on teachers’ questions and verbal feedback which can promote students’ interactional competence in the classroom. Its main purpose is to provide teachers’ knowledge about asking questions and providing verbal feedback effectively. Moreover, different types of questions and verbal feedback and their impacts on students’ interactional competence are described. Tips and strategies about how to use questions and verbal feedback effectively to reach students’ interactional competence are also provided.
